Re: varargs in TUI defined functions ?

Well I know Python but I don't really know how gdb makes use of it, so I'm kinda lost with this suggestion... can you give any more pointers or an example?
Also, what minimum version of gdb would I have to use for Python to be available for doing this? My Linux distro seems not to be fully up-to-date.

At the moment, I'm most interested what kind of naming convention for such a "varargs argument" the gdb community would like best:
$argv (like in C main(), and related to $argc)
$args (like in C va_args)
$* (like in Shellscripts)
$arg* (mixture of $arg and *)
... anything else?
Many Thanks!
Martin
